P Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder that affects behaviour, social interaction and learning. Acetaminophen — also known as Tylenol (or paracetamol outside the US) — is linked to autism and ADHD, a new study suggests. Children exposed to higher levels of acetaminophen in the womb were at almost four times the risk of developing autism.
